Chapter 252 : One-On-One With The Nightmare Devil 3

Lotus Sword Art : 4th form… Lotus slash!

Despite seeing the approaching sword, the Nightmare Devil still went on to clash with it. In its own opinion, it had been suppressing Sato ever since it had taken on its true form, hence, this time wouldn't be any different.

*Clang*

In that instant, a violent metallic sound burst forth from the point of collision between the two weapons. Sato's sword seemed to be halted by the Nightmare Devil's right claw, making it look as if the two were tied.

However, before even a second could be counted, Sato's sword cut through the claw of the beast, going so far as almost slicing off an entire arm.

"Arghhhh!"

[Critical Hit]

-147 (617/900 Nightmare Devil's HP)

The Nightmare Devil screamed uncontrollably as it hastily withdrew while holding on to its dangling arm. But why would Sato let it escape right after dealing grave damage to it?
